We're constantly innovating to help you stay safe on the road. One of our newest safety innovations is the next generation of adaptive headlamps. With a unique two-part optics package, the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS) is an industry breakthrough that allows drivers to see better at night around curves in the road.
Safer and More Efficient
Most cornering—or swivel—lighting systems are one-piece modules that turn as a single unit with the vehicle as it approaches a curve. In contrast, the AFLS incorporates two independent light sources: a high-output halogen projector for the main beam and a secondary row of light-emitting diodes that illuminates almost instantaneously, distributes the light beam evenly, and consumes less power than conventional lights.
Our AFLS provides drivers enhanced illumination around corners and curves and it consumes less energy while doing so. The AFLS was unveiled on a concept vehicle at the 2006 North American International Auto Show and is currently available on the 2007 Lincoln MKX.
